Warmhearted and lovely drama

I have become a big fan of Shin Hyesun ever since I watched Mr. Queen. Let me tell you, her character as Woo Seori is perfect! You can immediately fall in love with her.

If you are looking for a warm-hearted kind of drama, this by far alongside When The Camelia Blooms, gotta be that drama for me. The plot is kind of predictable, like come on, it is a korean drama. So the plot usually must be the main characters related to each other since they're kids and all. But mostly I stayed for the characters. Woo Seori and Kang Woojin definitely that healthy couple that I adore so much. I love that Woojin is so respectful towards Soori's decision and agreed to stay together with Seori in whatever situation. The bridge scene where both of them cried together and kissed later on were so good.

Thumbs up to the drama. I will rewatch it only for the main characters' scene because they're so cute together. Overall, great drama!

Masterpiece

I kept on delaying to watch this masterpiece due to the review about this drama being boring, some dropped out after 2 episodes and some could not grasp the concept of the drama itself. Honestly, it took me 4 episodes to get used to the concept. Is it slow? Only in the beginning as it's still in the introduction phase, but it got better episode by episode. I also read that people thought it's too 'western' due to its being open about sex and it's only at episode 2.

This is a masterpiece that I don't even feel like recommending others to watch because not all can get the concept or stand with this genre. Also, this drama felt personal somehow and it's not that I used to experience it, but more like the raw emotions and the intimacies make me feel like I want to be in love, be loved, and share this with someone special. The chemistry between characters are top notch, especially for both Ji Changwook and Kim Jiwon. I can actually feel the pain and longing every time they see each other and when they kissed, I swear it took my breath away. The gaze they gave each other gave me butterflies.

The editing is perfect. I have been watching kdrama for years and this starting since last year, I am kinda have not much energy to watch much drama like I used to and finish it in a short time. All I know is it is kinda tiring to see that slow-mo kiss, the unnecessary flashback, and other things that drag the drama. However, Lovestruck In The City is almost perfect with no slow-mo kiss and 'get-to-the-point' drama. Except for the repeated camera scene but I understand that they just needed some time and excuses to see/get away from each other.

The ending is good, but I am kinda hoping to see more of Euno and Jaewon being lovey dovey, Rin-i and Kyung together or maybe character development for Rin-i.

Of course, it's not everyone cup of tea and I can understand it. Kind of pissed too that some people called it a flop because it obviously not. If you are into slice of life genre, might as well try this! It's a waste to not watch this masterpiece.
